Rays' Joe Boyle: Works behind Rasmussen on Friday
Boyle struck out one batter and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Boyle was once again used in tandem with Drew Rasmussen, who covered the first two innings. The Rays have made it clear that they intend to limit Rasmussen to around 150 innings this season since he's just two years removed from undergoing the third major elbow operation of his career, and Boyle is expected to piggyback him for at least a few more turns through the rotation. While his results Friday were unremarkable, Boyle has delivered excellent ratios overall between his stops in the majors and at Durham this season, and he'll have improved odds of earning wins while the Rays deploy him in bulk relief. Tampa Bay is listing Rasmussen as its starter for its fifth game of the second half July 22 versus the White Sox, so Boyle's next appearance will presumably come that same day.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Piggybacks Rasmussen on Sunday
Boyle struck out seven and allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk over five innings of relief in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Called up earlier in the day after delivering a 1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings with Triple-A Durham on the season, Boyle wasn't immediately inserted into the Tampa Bay rotation. Instead, manager Kevin Cash essentially deployed Boyle as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind right-hander Drew Rasmussen, who was limited to two innings as an opener. Considering Rasmussen underwent an internal brace procedure -- the third major elbow surgery of his career -- in July 2023 and is already up to 89.1 innings on the season, the Rays could look to manage his workload in the short term by deploying him in tandem with Boyle. Even though Boyle's role is somewhat in flux at the moment, the dominance he's displayed in the minors and in his two appearances (one start) in the big leagues (0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 14 strikeouts in 10 innings) makes him worthy of picking up in most leagues where he's available.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Will stay in tandem with Rasmussen
Rays manager Kevin Cash suggested after Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins that he intends to have Boyle piggyback Drew Rasmussen for at least a few more turns through the rotation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Though Rasmussen has moved back into a full-time starting role in 2025 after undergoing the third major elbow surgery of his career in July 2023, the Rays are aiming to limit him to around 150 innings this season. Just over halfway into the campaign, Rasmussen has already compiled 89.1 innings, so the Rays will stick to their plan of managing his workload so that he can be available in some capacity through the rest of the regular season and potentially into the playoffs. The Rays took the first step in curtailing Rasmussen's workload Sunday, when Boyle was called up from Triple-A Durham to pitch in bulk relief behind him. After Rasmussen covered the first two frames, Boyle stepped in and covered the next five innings, striking out seven batters while allowing an unearned run on two hits and one walk. Cash didn't go into specifics regarding how long past the All-Star break the Rasmussen/Boyle pairing might be used or whether Rasmussen would continue to be capped at around two innings, but for fantasy purposes, the arrangement is certainly more favorable to Boyle than Rasmussen. By continuing to work in bulk relief on the days he pitches, Boyle will be the Rays hurler most likely to factor into any decision. In addition to the increased win potential, Boyle looks like he could make a major impact for fantasy managers in the ratio categories. He's submitted a 1.85 ERA and 22.3 K-BB% over 73 innings at Durham this season, and he's maintained that dominance through his two appearances with the Rays thus far, turning in a 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB through 10 frames.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Returns to big leagues
The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
Since returning to Durham after spinning five shutout innings in a spot start April 13, Boyle has continued to dominate at Triple-A. He turned in a 1.66 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 86:25 K:BB over 65 innings across his last 13 outings before he was scratched from a start Saturday ahead of getting the call to the big leagues. The Rays haven't clarified their plans for Boyle, but with Tampa Bay looking to limit Drew Rasmussen's workload, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times suggests that Boyle could end up piggybacking Rasmussen on Sunday against the Twins. After Sunday, the Rays will play seven games in seven days to close out their first-half schedule, so Boyle could be called upon to make a spot start during the final week before the All-Star break.

Rays' Joe Boyle: On cruise control at Triple-A
Boyle has a 1.17 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB in 46 innings across nine starts since he was optioned to Triple-A Durham on April 14.
The Rays haven't needed rotation reinforcements since Boyle was optioned, but he appears ready for another shot whenever an opportunity arises. Shane McClanahan (triceps) recently visited a nerve specialist and doesn't appear close to starting up a throwing program, while Ian Seymour recently made his big-league debut out of the bullpen, so Boyle is the clear sixth starter on the depth chart.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Optioned back to minors
The Rays optioned Boyle to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Boyle made a case to stick around by dazzling in a spot start Sunday versus Atlanta, fanning seven batters with no hits and just two unearned runs allowed over five innings. However, the Rays are sticking with their plan to return Boyle to the minors. He'll likely be first in line for a promotion when the big club needs a starter again.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Still expected to be sent down
The Rays plan to option Boyle to Triple-A Durham prior to Monday game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Boyle dazzled in a spot start Sunday versus Atlanta, permitting two unearned runs on no hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings. However, the Rays will stick with their initial plan and send Boyle back down in order to bring up a fresh relief arm. Boyle should be the first pitcher the Rays call upon when they need rotation help.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Tosses five no-hit frames in win
Boyle (1-0) earned the win against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing two unearned runs on no hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.
Boyle was called up for a spot start and tossed five no-hit innings before being lifted with no outs in the sixth. He generated an impressive 12 swinging strikes on 74 pitches and limited Atlanta to only three hard-hit balls. While it's unclear whether the 25-year-old will stick with the big-league club, Sunday's performance certainly made a strong case for another opportunity.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Called up, starting Sunday
The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Tampa Bay doesn't have an opening in its rotation, but Boyle will be called upon to take the hill Sunday in order to provide the team's other five starters with an additional day of rest. The right-hander was unable to secure a roster spot with the Rays coming out of spring training, but he'll get a call-up after allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 over eight innings across his two starts with Durham. However, the control problems that plagued him during his 13 appearances (10 starts) with the Athletics last season once again cropped up at Durham, as Boyle has walked six of the 35 batters he has faced in the minors.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Boyle to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Boyle was relatively impressive in the Grapefruit League this spring, turning in a 3.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with a 21:10 K:BB over 15.1 innings. However, because the 25-year-old righty finished last season with a 6.42 ERA and 1.72 WHIP, the Rays would presumably like to see Boyle maintain that success over a longer period of time before giving him a spot on their MLB roster.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Impressive so far in camp
Boyle allowed one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 2.1 innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League loss to the Red Sox.
Boyle, acquired from the Athletics in the Jeffrey Springs trade, is up to 4.1 scoreless innings this spring with a 6:1 K:BB and .125 BAA. The Rays seem committed to deploying a six-man rotation to begin the season and Boyle could make it a tough call for the last spot if he keeps pitching like this. The 6-foot-7 righty posted a 6.42 ERA in the majors last year but has a quality four-pitch mix, highlighted by a four-seamer that averaged 97.7 mph last season.
